How new is the 2.4 gamma standard? I see on my Sony OLED PVM 2541 the gamma choices are 2.2, 2.4 and CRT. The CRT setting is closer to 2.2 gamma but a little bit overall brighter. I have always run at 2.4. In a controlled environment like an edit bay I have been under the assumption that the Sony monitor closely reflects the display characters of a traditional CRT with rich blacks etc.... Seeing how different the image is when setting the gamma to the CRT selection raises questions as to what setting really mimics a CRT display. In viewing some of the shows I've color corrected with the 2.4 gamma setting at home the images seem to have an even higher gamma over my direct tv ntsc box into my old Sony consumer CRT. Of course that's not a precise test but just a feeling I got watching a few of my shows. That feeling is the opposite of what the CRT setting on the OLED shows. If anything if I ran in CRT gamma I'd probably be pulling down the darker areas even more which empirical data suggests would be wrong. So what is the "Spirit" of the CRT gamma setting?
